Look Ahead to February

The Crunch kicked off their February slate of games Wednesday night with a 4-3 loss against the Belleville Senators after giving up 9 power play opportunities. An unfortunate result considering Belleville is below them in the North Division standings and will likely be competing with them for the final playoff spot in the division.

The Crunch do have 12 more games upcoming this month with 10 against North Division opponents, including 3 more against Belleville and 4 against the Laval Rocket who are immediately ahead of the Crunch in the North Division. They will look to solidify their playoff standing heading into the second half of their season.
